Got this from a homie in New Orleans (the home of jambalaya - for those who don't know), it's the bomb: 3 lbs shrimp, butterflied and halved 1 lbs sausage 1 tbs oil 1 tbs butter 1 cup onion, chopped 1 cup green pepper, chopped 1/2 cup celery, chopped 2 bay leaves 1-16 oz can tomatoes 3 cloves garlic, crushed 1/4 cup parsley 2 cups stock 1/2 green onion 1 tps thyme 1 tps basil 1/8 tps cayenne 1 tps salt 1/2 tps chili powder 1 1/2 cup long grain rice 1/8 tps cloves 1/8 tps all spice Add oil and butter to stock pot. Add onion, pepper, garlic, and celery and sweat til soft. Add shrimp and cook til white. About 5 min. Remove shrimp, add sausage. Cook til sausage is ready (2 min). Add stock, tomatoes, bay leaves, parsley, thyme, basil cayenne, salt, cloves, all spice, chili powder and rice. Bring to boil, cover and cook under low heat for 20 mins. Add shrimp. Cook for 5 min and serve. The prep is kinda pain. Once you get past that, it is just like cooking rice. Enjoy with a glass of red wine and some Detroit techno. ;) _________________________________________________________________ In a rush?
